Do you know your neighbors?  While the feelings of isolation and loneliness have increased, the art of good neighboring has been in massive decline.  We are all a neighbor to someone, whether in a college residence hall, an apartment, a house or a farm. 

Join us as we explore the engaged neighbor principles and their impacts on health, wellness and community.  This introduction to the engaged neighbor principles is perfect for anyone wanting to be more active in their neighborhood.

Laugh and learn from the speaker’s personal stories of how he went from apathy to engagement and how to avoid the “awkward” moments. Then accept the challenge to make a positive impact on your neighborhood!
